For me, India has always been about the wild, the rain-soaked forests of the Western Ghats and the lives that unfold quietly within them.
Share the India you see and stand a chance to be featured in the iconic National Geographic India 2027 Calendar. Visit www.natgeoyourlens.com to submit.
In the rainforests of Valparai, I watched a troop of lion-tailed macaques move through the canopy. Then, from deep in its mother’s fur, this little one peeked out and looked straight at me. For a second, it was just the two of us. Then it was gone.
Lion-tailed macaques live nowhere else on Earth but the Western Ghats, and fewer than 4,000 remain. Here they survive in small patches of forest surrounded by plantations and roads. This baby will grow up in a world smaller than its ancestors knew, and whether it keeps shrinking is up to us.
I’m calling on 3 people to share their own stories of India @balajinarayananphotography @sarojobs @manishraowildlife

Valparai Diaries
Endless shades of green, misty mountains, winding roads, and moments that make you wish you could stay a little longer… love love and much love to this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Never, ever did I think I’d be standing here, watching this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🧿🧿🧿
From one ridge at Sandakphu, four of the five highest peaks on Earth: Everest, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse and Makalu, all glowing in the morning sun. Some moments feel less like plans and more like the universe quietly blessing you. This was one of them. ✨And honestly, this photograph doesn’t do justice to the beauty you see in reality. Some things you just have to stand in front and witness yourself.✨
And @surya_ramachandran the amount of information you carry is phenomenal. Thank you so much for everything ❤️
Thank you @sundar.aka.raja and @aforaswin for this image ☺️

Rest in peace, Dotty! 💔
You will always be the Queen of Bandhavgarh.
They say there are so many more tigers out there, deep inside the core, in places we may never know of or get to see. But what about the ones we do know? The ones we have followed, admired and grown so attached to. The ones who have taught us boldness, fierceness and resilience, and given us some of the most beautiful and unforgettable moments in the wild.
You were one of them, Dotty. A soul whose presence brought so much joy, whose sightings left us in awe and whose life became a part of so many of our stories.
They say that when we leave this world, all the pets who were once a part of our lives come running to welcome us at the gates of heaven. I wonder if my dear tigers who have gone before us will be there too… and now, I hope you will be among them. ❤️
Life is difficult enough, and yet, news like this leaves an ache that is so hard to explain. I don’t know why losing an animal hurts me this deeply. Perhaps it’s because they never have to know us personally for us to love them so much. Perhaps it’s the connection we build through years of following their lives, waiting for them in the wild and celebrating every sighting as a gift.
And then one day, the news comes that they are gone. And a part of the wild we knew will never be the same again.
Fly high, Dotty. Thank you for the memories, the joy and the privilege of having known your story. You will always be the Queen of Bandhavgarh, and you will never be forgotten.
Some goodbyes hurt more than words can ever explain.
This is one of them. 💔

My heart goes for this place. ❤️
For its simple beauty, its mountains, its flowers and its people..
Every once in a while, Munnar gets its most magical visitor - the Kurinji alias Neelakurinji 💜🌿
The Neelakurinji (Strobilanthes kunthiana) is a little wildflower with an extraordinary rhythm. It blooms in mass only once in about 12 years, turning the high-altitude grasslands of the Western Ghats into shades of blue, violet and mauve. And then, just like that, it disappears, leaving the mountains to wait for the next bloom.
There is something incredibly beautiful about a flower that takes twelve years to say hello. 💜
Munnar Munnar Munnar.
I think I could say it a hundred more times and still not be enough. ❤️🧿🧿🧿
Watch out this space for more from this visit 🙏🏻❤️🧿

Different worlds.. One shared home!
The lights in the distance belong to us.
The leaves belong to them.
Yet somewhere between the two, life continues.
Wildlife doesn’t always get a choice between wilderness and human habitation. They adapt. They coexist. They survive.
Maybe coexistence isn’t a favour we do for wildlife.
Maybe it’s the only way forward !

The very beautiful Green Eyed Bush Frog !
Every time we step into a forest after dark, we’re entering a world that was never built for us. The goal isn’t just to come back with a beautiful photograph, but to leave knowing the forest carried on exactly as it would have if we had never been there. That means using the least amount of light possible, diffusing our flash, relying on a low-intensity torch from a distance, and adapting our camera settings instead of overpowering the subject with light. Every choice we make behind the camera should put the animal’s well-being before the image. Because in the end, conservation isn’t measured by the photographs we bring home, but by how little our presence changed the wild.

One tiny frog. One beam of light. One leaf. The forest doesn’t need grand stages to tell unforgettable stories 🫶🏻

You don’t always need to show the whole story.
Sometimes, a silhouette is enough to leave you wondering,. :)
What do you think this is?
(Don’t swipe. Don’t Google. Just guess.)

Nature’s secret glow ✨🦂 Scorpions fluoresce under UV light - a phenomenon scientists still can’t fully explain. Spotted this beauty on a night walk with nothing but a blacklight flashlight. The night never sleeps

When the forest gifts you a moment painted in gold and green, you pause and just breathe it in.
The Great Hornbill - a true icon of the Western Ghats - perched amidst the canopy, feasting on wild figs that thrive in these untouched forests. These fruiting trees are the lifeline of the rainforest, feeding not just hornbills but countless other species that depend on them. The morning light slipping through the leaves brought the perfect glow on its casque and feathers, capturing that rare harmony between bird, fruit, and forest.
